Disclaimer
Just about every blawg I read has a disclaimer on it. The pattern is almost always the same, and reduces to the following:
- I am not your lawyer just because you’re reading this blog
- You are not my client just because you’re reading this blog
- This blog is not legal advice
- Don’t rely on anything in this blog if you’re looking for legal advice
- Talk to a lawyer if you need legal advice
- Unsolicited information sent to me is not protected by solicitor-client privilege
To my mind, posting a disclaimer on a blog is a little like handing a disclaimer to your dinner guests. Of course blogs reach more people, but I still think the entire exercise is a little odd - it shouldn’t be necessary. Nonetheless, please tread carefully.
